here's another web site to take a look at: www.drugsawareness.org while everyone is unique and different and will have different results with SSRIs, it sure seems there are some cautions. with regard to how long the meds remain this quote seems to infer that there may be a longer residual than expected: "Recent medical studies show that that the brain levels of Prozac are 100 times greater than blood levels and it is believed that this is the case with the other serotonin reuptake inhibitors as well - evidence of toxic brain levels affecting behavior no matter what the blood levels demonstrate. As patients have continued to report, this accumulation is evidence that accumulation of drug residue will produce a delayed withdrawal and that it will continue to produce reactions, not only during the period of time the patient is using the drug, but for long periods of time after discontinuation of the drug use." so, well, there isn't an easy way to test brain levels, so who knows how long the stuff remains in the body. fish oil, lots of it, lecithin with b complex, whey, etc etc. even if you stay on the meds. These things do no harm and may help. la
